Download or read book Correlates of Ethnic Identity Family Support and Academic Self Concept in Adolescents written by Don Wittrock and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the relationships between ethnic identity, family support, and academic self-concept of adolescents in museum youth programs in the Midwest (N = 88). Three hypotheses were tested and all were supported. There is a correlation between family support and the commitment and exploration of an ethnic identity, commitment to an ethnic identity was associated with a higher academic self-concept, and there is a negative relationship between academic self-concept and self reported grade point average. When the family relationship was studied further, the correlation remained when maternal support was isolated with ethnic identity. A discussion of these findings is presented including limitations and implications for additional research and programming are addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An objective of this study was to explore the relationship of ethnic identity development, among a group of adolescents in the Bay area, self-esteem, and health risk behaviors. Past research has mixed findings with regard to whether ethnic identity development is a protective factor to adolescents engaging in risky behaviors such as, drinking, drug use, smoking, and sexually risky behaviors. Some research has indicated that ethnic identity does serve as a protective factor among some groups of adolescents when drug use is concerned. An additional objective of this study was to better understand the relationship of self-esteem, ethnic identity, and health related decision-making. Gender, age, and ethnic group membership were also looked at as they related to health risk behavior among adolescents in this sample. Four hundred and seventy seven ethnically diverse adolescents between the ages of 13-18 from local Bay area high schools voluntarily participated in this investigation. This study contained a sub-sample of 124 Latino adolescents, and 88 Asian adolescents. Results supported the role that ethnic identity has as a protective factor to health risk behaviors among some groups of adolescents. Ethnic identity and self-esteem were found to be positively correlated in this study. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to be a protective factor to engaging in health risk behaviors among those adolescents who were not Caucasian when compared with Caucasian adolescents. Finally, gender differences were found on the Affirmation and Belonging subscale of the MEIM in terms of health risk behaviors. Findings from this study have implications for designing preventive programs for adolescents from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, these findings point to the importance of considering ethnic identity, ethnicity, and self-esteem in the prediction of health risk behaviors"--Leaves ii-iii.

This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays addresses issues related to the intersection of family relationships and several contexts for the social and emotional development of ethnic minority adolescents. The papers are organized in sections under subtitles which reflect three contextual frames through which these issues may be examined. The first section focuses on the relationship between economic factors and resources on the one hand and family relations as environments for development on the other. The next part focuses on family and peer networks and relations as contexts for the emotional and social development of adolescents. The last section takes neighborhood and school as contexts for and determinants of social and emotional adjustment in adolescence. Like much of the extant work and current thought concerning development in ethnic minority children and adolescents, the authors have highlighted the more stressful and negative aspects of these several contexts. There are a few explicit and several implicit references made to supportive and more positive contexts and manifestations of relationships which frame the developmental experiences of ethnic minority adolescents. These serve as a reminder that many ethnic minority adolescents do overcome the odds against success and grow into healthy and wholesome adults. However, in large measure, this book is a contribution to our understanding of the problematic circumstances under which a significant segment of the population exists, reminding us that life for ethnic minority adolescents is difficult. The fact that some of these young people manage to overcome the negative and stressful aspects of their experiences and defy the implicit prediction of failure to thrive is truly remarkable.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which racial identity attitudes and self-esteem could predict academic performance for African American middle school students. A total of 175 African American adolescents in 7th grade attending one of two urban schools participated in the study. The Multi-Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) were used to measure children's feelings toward themselves and their group. Cumulative grade point average (gpa) was used to measure academic achievement. The findings partially supported the hypothesis that racial identity and self-esteem are predictors of academic performance. Self-esteem and racial affiliation were significant predictors of academic achievement, but not the racial identity search component of the MEIM. The results revealed self-esteem to be less predictive of academic achievement than racial affiliation. The second part of the study was to examine the effects of racial identity and self-esteem on African American adolescents' academic performance. The hypothesis was supported. Students who exhibited high levels of self-esteem and racial identity performed better academically than students who showed low levels of self-esteem and racial identity. (Contains 7 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the latest research on how young people can develop positive ethnic-racial identities and strong interracial relations Today’s young people are growing up in an increasingly ethnically and racially diverse society. How do we help them navigate this world productively, given some of the seemingly intractable conflicts we constantly hear about? In Below the Surface, Deborah Rivas-Drake and Adriana Umaña-Taylor explore the latest research in ethnic and racial identity and interracial relations among diverse youth in the United States. Drawing from multiple disciplines, including developmental psychology, social psychology, education, and sociology, the authors demonstrate that young people can have a strong ethnic-racial identity and still view other groups positively, and that in fact, possessing a solid ethnic-racial identity makes it possible to have a more genuine understanding of other groups. During adolescence, teens reexamine, redefine, and consolidate their ethnic-racial identities in the context of family, schools, peers, communities, and the media. The authors explore each of these areas and the ways that ideas of ethnicity and race are implicitly and explicitly taught. They provide convincing evidence that all young people—ethnic majority and minority alike—benefit from engaging in meaningful dialogues about race and ethnicity with caring adults in their lives, which help them build a better perspective about their identity and a foundation for engaging in positive relationships with those who are different from them. Timely and accessible, Below the Surface is an ideal resource for parents, teachers, educators, school administrators, clergy, and all who want to help young people navigate their growth and development successfully.
